@SopranoManDon lthere is something I am very curious about so I want to ask you? Are you (and many other male sopranos) singing in head voice/falsetto OR in full voice?

P.S. don't answer technically... by full voice I also mean modal voice or passaggio or upper/mixed full voice... whatever you may call it you know, as long as it is an area in your full/normal voice, not head voice/falsetto, and not simply a strong head voice which is also called mixed voice.

I rarely sing in pure falsetto. I mix a lot of chest and head voice in my upper range. I think many male sopranos, particularly those that specialize in the Baroque period, use a more pure falsetto. I posted a song on here called "Tenderly", where I use my chest voice (speaking voice) in the first half of the song and then switch to the upper register in the second half. That should help you hear the different registers I use.

Simply stunning. I don't know whom or if you have studied with formally. It certainly sounds as though you have because I can hear your technical production and it is magnificent. Whether you know it or not, your singing is technically to the method and standard of true correct singing as first observed and developed by Manuel Garcia and later his son Jr. and Mathilde Marchesi. Sr. was the inventor of the laryngiscope, the device first used to observe the voice in actual production. More, more!

Thanks again! I started formal voice lessons at 15 yrs old. -just your basic classical approach. Concentrated mostly on tenor with some in the upper range. Tenor was so difficult and frustrating for me I would give up and practice all my music in the soprano range. None of my teachers through my college days felt there was any point to sing higher than alto. About 6 yrs ago I found Dr. Jay Pierson (from Julliard), who helped me immensely in technique as a soprano, and my self confidence.
